 Despite her educational degree (a doctorate in naturopathy) and national board certification, no medical licensing board existed in the state of Minnesota for the licensing of naturopaths (only twelve states currently provide state licensing for naturopaths). The news of the injunction spread quickly throughout the Minnesota natural health community, and they rose with one voice to protest what seemed to be an arbitrary action by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice to shut down a natural health practitioner. |

 Fire your drug-pushing vet and switch to a holistic or naturopathic animal care expert, even if they don't have the same licensing credentials as the drug-pushing vet. State authorities, you see, are trying to de-license naturopathic vets, and there's a big effort now to push naturopathic vets out of the industry. Sometimes you have to seek them out yourself and ignore state licensing boards (which are totally owned by Big Pharma, by the way). |

 Senate is a bill that would "revitalize" the FDA and create a Reagan-Udall Foundation for the Food and Drug Administration that could earn royalties licensing drugs or medical devices. Depending on whom you ask, the creation of this foundation either puts the FDA in business with Big Pharma, or is "no big deal" and has nothing to do with licensing drugs or medical devices.
Once again, I remind readers to read between the lines. |

Once again, I remind readers to read between the lines. At its inception, the Reagan-Udall Foundation may, indeed, not pursue the licensing of drugs, but its activities will inevitably expand into areas not covered in the original language of the law. It is naive to believe that any governmental organization will simply halt when it reaches the boundary of whatever power has been granted to it. |

| Sometimes you have to seek them out yourself and ignore state licensing boards (which are totally owned by Big Pharma, by the way).

If you want a healthy pet, you've got to get back to basics: Nutrition, exercise, disease prevention and natural remedies. There is absolutely no rationale that justifies the routine chemical treatment of pets with patented, high-profit pharmaceuticals. |

 To establish what CCFC calls "cradle-to-grave brand loyalty," marketers zero in on tots and toddlers by licensing toys, accessories, and even baby bibs with popular characters.
Sadly, our nation's young are sitting targets for marketers' exploitative means. In fact, a child doesn't even understand the concept of advertising until about age eight, and young kids just can't differentiate between commercials and program content, according to the CCFC. Even older kids sometimes don't know that product placement is at work. |

 Precisely these effects were seized on as the pharmacological justification for licensing disulfiram as the drug Antabuse. It is still prescribed as a cornerstone of "aversive therapy" for alcoholics.74 Problems have been noted with long-term Antabuse use, however. One of its side effects can be damage to sensory nerves, which should not be surprising. Although Antabuse acts by blocking the breakdown of alcohol, the drug itself is metabolized in the body, just as most medications are. A major by-product of the me-tabolization of Antabuse, it turns out, is carbon disulfide. |

 Television programs and movies also market unhealthy food to children through extensive brand licensing, promotions at fast food restaurants, and product placement," wrote Linn.
The Kaiser Family Foundation's study analyzed more than 8,000 advertisements using detailed data about the viewing habits of children in three age groups. Researchers found while children of all ages are bombarded with promotions for fast food, junk food and soda, 8- to 12-year-olds see the most food advertisements. |

| The Reagan-Udall foundation is the tool that FDA plans to use for patent protection and licensing arrangements of its technology with private industry -- and thus the creation of FDA, Inc. Von Eschenbach is on record as stating that the Critical Path Initiative is the FDA's top priority (not drug safety or food safety).
The Critical Path Initiative has been repeatedly attacked because it would expose patients to drugs with far less testing for safety and effectiveness compared to drugs already on the market. |

| He seemed to take a perverse pleasure in telling me that unless I complied with all FDA/USD A licensing and import requirements, he would not hesitate to treat me like any other illegal drug runner. So much for a caring and concerned FDA. Pharmaceutical interests, not individual needs, seem to head the list of FDA priorities.
When the BSE scare arose in the late 1990s, importing needed natural insulins became even more difficult.. .at least for the individual. The FDA frequently was quoted in the media, warning Americans of the dangers of BSE. |
| Any tax-supported research at state or federally funded facilities resulting in a patent would result in funds for future research through licensing revenues. (No benefit to the tax-funded employee.)

 State medical licensing boards run secret investigations to frame and "catch" doctors prescribing vitamins or alternative therapies. Those doctors are then targeted for prosecution or revocation of their medical licenses.
6) The FDA, drug companies and mainstream media routinely invent scare stories about vitamins and nutritional supplements, then publicize them in order to scare consumers away from nutritional therapies (and herd them into profitable drug treatments). |

 The answer, of course, is because these associations earn money by licensing their logos and recommendations to processed food manufacturers. Anything for a buck, it seems.
This kind of cowardly approach to health is prevalent across conventional medicine, and it usually involves conflicts of interest with the big corporations funding many of today's most prominent disease organizations. The American Diabetes Association, for example, accepted millions of dollars from soft drink companies and candy manufacturers. |

| We republished Byron Richards' most recent article which specifically points out that this FDA Evilization Act of 2007 could allow the FDA to get into the business of licensing and selling drugs and medical devices. The bill also expands the financial incest between Big Pharma and the FDA by increasing the "user fees" paid by drug companies to the FDA for reviewing and approving their drugs.
It is quite clear that the FDA is already functioning as the marketing branch of Big Pharma, and this new Evilization Act of 2007 would deepen the financial relationships between the two. |

 Internationally, medicinal products or herbs are defined differently in different countries, and varied approaches have been adopted with regard to licensing, dispensing, and manufacturing these products.
Herbal Medicine in Europe
In Europe, especially in Germany, herbal medicines (known there as phytomedicines) are prescribed like other medications and enjoy widespread scientific and medical support. All German medical students must learn phytomedicine, and approximately 80 percent of German physicians regularly use plant medications in their practice. |

 Graduates write international (Canada and the United States) licensing exams, which are known as the Naturopathic Physicians licensing Exams (NPLEX). Upon passing NPLEX, they are eligible to practice in jurisdictions where naturopathic medicine is regulated.
Recently, naturopathic medicine has been given many alternative names — alternative, complementary, integrative, and holistic, to name a few. Regardless of the term used, one or more modalities of naturopathic medicine are now used by an estimated 42% of the North American population. |

| Assigning, licensing, pirating researchers, contractually controlling reported results, outright theft, and sabotage are all used to check progress toward a cure. Twisting a few arms in the government aids mightily in this endeavor.
Let's look at two "cures" and their possible impact on the pharmaceutical industry. The Ingap studies might actually lead to a "cure" but might require continued use of an immunosuppressive drug. This "cure" would still present the pharmaceuticals with a money stream, and is more desirable than some alternatives. |

 With respect to certain key advisors, including lawyers and accountants, the best source of information tends to be state licensing agencies, though not all of them offer online access or respond to queries in a timely fashion. Bar associations and other professional and trade groups can also be of assistance, though these organizations have an inherent obligation to members that can be at odds with the needs of their clients. |

 It ushered in the Second Stage by setting up licensing and professional standards for medical schools—or at least the AMA-sponsored institutions it favored. This new rigor was welcome in that it led to the outlawing of the worst kinds of quack medicine.
Unfortunately, it also led to the censure of many of the most original and effective "unconventional" treatments. It also fostered the rapid ossification of medicine into an orthodoxy controlled by the American Medical Association. |

 Canadian regulators are "compromised" by their determination to appease and promote the biotech industry
Royal Society of Canada "In meetings with senior managers from the various Canadian regulatory departments, the Expert Panel addressed questions related to their handling of the issues of transparency and confidentiality in dealing with applicants for licensing of new biotechnology. Their responses uniformly stressed the importance of maintaining a favorable climate for the biotechnology industry to develop new products and submit them for approval on the Canadian market.... |

| The licensing procedure for these professionals is rigorous. After several years of schooling, they are required to pass a stringent exam and complete a residency program under the supervision of highly experienced clinicians. However, the percentage of these professionals with an integrated, holistically oriented approach is small.
Numerous bodyworkers and energy healers fall into this category Examples of certification are Certified Massage Therapists (CMTs) and Certified Hypnotherapists (CHTs). Certification standards differ widely from state to state and profession to profession. |

 The Korean carmaker Hyundai announced it was entering the hybrid game, but unlike GM, Ford, or Daimler, which are licensing technologies to catch up, Hyundai was going on its own technologies, which already did not match up to Toyota.
According to Business Week, "Hyundai has a long way to go on fuel economy. Its hybrid burns 5.3 liters for every 100 kilometers (44 miles per gallon) of city travel. That's better than the 8 liters per 100 km (29 miles per gallon) the gasoline-engine-powered Accent needs, but it's worse than the low 4. |
